  • The Woven Tale Press Selected Works &The Empty Spaces Project Gallery Exhibit

    by Sandra Tyler
    The Woven Tale Press is an online literary and fine arts magazine, and this is the editors’ first printed edition of selected works. The intent of this selection is to represent the diversity of past contributors to the magazine–rather than the “best,” the eclectic.

  • Things You Can Do

    by Daniel Burnette

  • The Last Kaurava a Novel

    by Kamesh Ramakrishna
    The Last Kaurava is not a re-telling of the Mahabharata – it is an entirely new work of fiction. Though it uses several characters from the Epic and mostly follows the story-line, there are events that never occur in the Mahabharata or vary greatly from the story as told in the Mahabharata. Reading The Last Kaurava requires that the reader be flexible and open-minded enough to let the story play out.    Two stories unfold in the book:  the first story explores the writing down of the Mahabhara... more
